Solution

The common features of African art are:

A. Three-dimensional: African art often includes sculptures and other three-dimensional forms.

B. Highly stylized figures: African art is known for its stylized, rather than realistic, depictions of figures and objects.

C. Abstract: Many pieces of African art feature abstract designs and patterns.

D. Influenced by Greek styles: This is not typically a feature of African art. African art has its own unique styles and techniques.

E. Anatomically proportional: While some African art may be anatomically proportional, many pieces are not. African art often features exaggerated or distorted proportions for stylistic and symbolic reasons.
